Her ambivalent emotions also played a part in the reason why she didn’t leave Duddy in the first place; as she still had feelings for him even though he had mistreated her. Finally, Yvette was involved in intimate relationships throughout the entire novel. One of which was with Duddy, and the other of which was with Duddy’s “friend”, Virgil Roseboro.

Karen Karbo claims, “Most of us would prefer to think that we love our friends because of who they are, not because of the ways in which they support who we are. It sounds vaguely narcissistic, and yet the studies bear it out.”(156) while Yvette and I stated off as simple associates, she was soon to be reviled as my most supportive friend. She was just another co-worker. However, after our bosses went through a divorce, our most dependable co-worker moved, and another reunited with her drug habit, Yvette was the only one I could depend on. Together we became an unbreakable team. We could run the front office without any flaws. Since our friendship was growing we became even more supportive of each other, if one was slacking the other would step up and make sure the task was completed. We would switch off on answering the phones and taking on a challenging customer. Occasionally we would go out for a drink to destress from work.
